Duke Lacrosse Rape Accuser Headed to Court on Attempted Murder Charge

Thanks to Bob Owens for this update on Crystal Mangum: A Durham woman who falsely accused three Duke University athletes of rape four years ago will be in court Monday on a separate case in which she faces multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder. . . .

Immigration, Assimilation and Sovereignty

Michelle Malkin writes about “the unhyphenated, the law-abiding, the gratitude-filled sons and daughters and grandchildren of legal immigrants” and supplies a  brief history of the Founding Fathers’ views on immigration and assimilation. As I’ve often said, the way liberals (including some Republicans who think they’re conservative) talk about immigration, you might get the idea that Emma Lazarus […]

The Two Things I Want From Farrakhan

by Smitty Gateway Pundit links a recent bloviation from Mr. Farrakhan attempting a shakedown of Jewish leaders. At the risk of raising Stacy’s hackles, I’ll reveal that my in-country ancestors fought for the North those years ago.

Hope and Change (and Hateful Stereotypes) Liberals Can Believe In

Neela Bannerjee at Slate scrupulously […]

Good Old-Fashioned American Hate!

America used to be a great country. Alas, we don’t make TV commercials like this anymore: Hey, don’t blame me. It’s got nearly 2 million YouTube views. (Hat-tip: Dan Collins via Twitter.) UPDATE: When America was a great country, little girls just wanted to play dress-up and be pretty like Barbie — and nobody thought […]

A. Because He’s Black, That’s Why

Q. Why did Alvin Greene win the Democratic primary for Senate in South Carolina with the same percentage of the vote as Barack Obama? Do I think that putting an accused sexual predator on the Democratic primary ballot was a GOP dirty trick? Yes, I do. But a much better question is this: Do I think […]

Interracial Marriage Rate Increase Meets Resistance

by Smitty The news that interracial marriage rates are increasing seems like a good thing. Family history and ethnic heritage, while excellent and worthy of all preservation, needs to be balanced with the fact that we’re all Americans and bleed one color when defending our Constitution. The news that the lines are blurring was met […]
